I just got my t989 and was looking for a good, stable rom and was looking for some advice from you guys.
What I want to know is if the F1 Galaxy Nexus rom works for our t989 models? If not, is there another similar rom that gives me a stock ICS experience that is:
-really stable (all functions work and virtually no freezing/echo/glitches)
-Speedy
-AMAZING battery life
Thanks in advance for your help.
Galaxy nexus roms and t989 roms are not interchangeable. Your best bet for an aosp look would be just to use apex launcher (for example) to theme it out nicely. Basically since ics and source was just released officially, ics development has just started to really pick up steam. I suggest Darkside evolution 3 v4. It has given me about 30-50% more battery life than stock and the dev is always on his A game and improving his roms.

Thanks for the input. I'll check out the Darkside rom and see if I like it.
The F1 galaxy nexus rom is a Galaxy S 2 rom that mimics the google ICS experience found on the galaxy nexus. it works for the i9100 and AT&T i777 galaxy s 2 but I was wondering if it also worked for the t989?
You might also check out AOKP or CM9 as they have finally fixed the call audio/echo underwater mic issues.

No I won't work they are both gs2 but very different hardware....if you want a true vanilla experience then I would go with AOKP...I am on darkside and love it but its a touchwiz based rom and is very different than stock vanilla ROMs
Yea, I'm trying to get away from touchwiz. I checked out some pics, videos, and comments on aokp and darkside, I think aokp looks more like what I am looking for.
Thanks guys.

Now there is an aosp theme for the darkside rom that looks nice mix it with nova or apex launcher and your aosp
Darkside evolution 3 v4 is exellente.

i suggest using DARKSIDE ROM v4
you get AMAZING battery life as well as fast, speedy performance.
if you want a FULL vanilla ICS experience download "APEX LAUNCHER".
your going to love it. It supports themes from other launchers such as go launcher, adw ex launcher, and others.
Hey guys,
What is the best rom/kernel combo you have found? I am currently on slimbean with kT kernel. Looking for what has worked for others :good:
+1
I'm very interested to know myself. I just got the sgs3 coming from a galaxy nexus running aokp. I love the new touchwiz which is ,I find, leaps and bounds beyond the sgs2's version of touchwiz. I actually want to keep it. I want a rom that gives me more without taking anything away. What I mean is a juiced up touchwiz with more customization. No nova or apex. Lte, avcrp and nfc that actually work. landscape mode phablet mode etc. Every rom has one or the other not all.
at this point it really comes down to personal opinion. all roms are heavily supported and seem to be very stable. it depends on what your looking for.
slim is a great rom very smooth and light (only ~80mb in size!) but i've found that i get more random fc's on slimbean than i do on cm10/aokp. so im sticking with cm10 & kt747 kernel for now. i always check out new slimbean updates though, when it gets a little more stable ill probably stay there.
i haven't had much experience with leak based stock jb roms. when the official at&t jb update comes out ill probably stick with stock jb because i do enjoy touchwiz but right now it seems that aosp is better with stability and battery life.
one thing i am sure of is every rom i flash, i flash ktoonsez kt747 kernel. during heavy use i switch to from ondemand to ktoonservative governer and that will really save you battery life.
i think it does come down to personal preference, but what I'm using is the latest Cyanogenmod 10 nightly with Ktoonsez latest kernel (9/23) and it's underclocked and undervolted. Great performance and even better battery life.

Serenity is based on the note 2 software. Milestone is based on the tmobile s3 leak. I tried both and went back to an ics rom (ariel). It just seems more stable and has more of the features that i like.

I really like Serenity v1.1 located at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1869300.
There are a few bugs here and there, but nothing that would prevent daily use in my opinion. If you are after super stable then you should probably stick with a stock-based ROM of which there are plenty. If you want to try out JB then I'd give Serenity a shot.
I use kt747 with stock rogers rom, (4.1.1 JB). Aside from a couple of issues with charging for while powered off, everything is working well.
Jedi ROM 2.0.
I've had 0 issues with it, great battery life, buttery smooth (using Nova launcher) and everything works flawlessly.

Or you could just try some on your own like most others

Hi im currently using the frosty jellybean v7 rom for my gs3. But i really dislike the battery life for this rom.
Im looking for a good rom, touch wiz or not. With a good battery life and great features in a most stable manner. Also, if there is one that can wifi tether t mobile, than let me know of my options. Also if possible, is there a non touchwiz rom with actual touchwiz features like svoice or motion/nfc?
Thanks in advance.
Best advice is just to try each one. You're going to get a different answer from everyone and only you know exactly what you want. That being said, it's AOKP for me.

There's quite a few AOSP/CM based ROMS in the original development section if you want to stay on JB but try something new and without Touchwiz. Battery life is decent too especially cuz alot of the Samsung bloat isnt running.
AOSP Roms use android's built in Wifi Tether. Not sure if this is compatible with how T-mobile's tethering plan works as I'm on a Canadian variant. NFC is available on these roms as well but SBeam is not.
As for the Touchwiz features, some of them can be mimicked with apps though how I'm not sure how effective or faithful these apps are. Try googling the name of the feature and add "Aosp" or "Galaxy nexus" to the search to see if there is a stock version of that feature

best way to learn is to flash each rom an decide for yourself
My girlfriend and I are in a long distance relationship, so I can't really help her when she has problems on her phone. I am currently with her and I've previously had AOKP and CyanogenMod on her phone. While they generally work perfectly fine, there may be issues that I can't easily diagnose from afar. What Touchwiz (non-AOSP) ROM would you guys recommend for long-term stability, optimal battery life, and features. Unlike me, she does enjoy Touchwiz....so using a Touchwiz ROM isn't a problem.
Suggestions?

My first suggestion would be to try several to see which one she likes. If the time isn't available, then I would suggest taking a look at Triune 2. Basically, a debloated stock rom with some custom tweaks. It's what both my wife and I run, though hers isn't as personalized as mine. And if it's important, google wallet works with it.
Try miui, its like android meets iphone and sweet themes. Its probably not the most stable choice though, despite how much it might appeal to the novice android user.
Aokp is very stable, I'm on slimbean right now and its been 100% stable so far. I haven't been on a tw ics ROM since the first few hours I got my gs3 back in july. Drews stock tw jellybean is pretty stable might want to give that a try too.
I've actually been quite partial to DrewGaren's ROM's.... currently Serenity 1.2 based on an AT&T JellyBean ROM for the Galaxy Note 2, and JellyBean747, based on the latest JellyBean leaks/official builds from other carriers.
As for custom ICS TouchWiz ROM's.... haven't really used one in a while since i'm hooked on JB... but i did quite like kyanROM.
I really want her to have JB as she currently has it and surely doesn't want to go back to ICS. I'll do a nandroid and have her try out the DrewGaren ROMs first and see if she likes those. Thanks!

Well heads up if your talking d g stock tw jb rom im on it and yes its good but read through some of the few pages myself and a few members are talking about..
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda premium
Right now there's now perfectly stable stock touchwiz jb ROMs for our s3 yet as far as I'm aware, and may venture to say the aosp ROMs are more stable and have less issues. I may be wrong as I havent tried too many tw jb roms but have read quite a bit. Ariel 2.10 is a rock solid tw ics build and the upgrade to jb is minor enough I can't see why your girlfriend would mine it until a better tw jb ROM is out.

Where she live? If were close ill give here her a hand
I kid I kid. Wannalite is a ICS stable TW rom. Either that or MIUI. But its still experiancing some growing pains and not quite 100 percent stable.
I'm running JB TW from TeamInsomnia with Ktoonz kernel with absolutely no issues.
Turn your gf into a flashaholic!! Lol

Hey, i'll get a GN2 soon, what is better for a good battery life and a good perfomance?
Modded stock rom or custom rom ?
I mean touchwiz rom, or aosp based roms ?
AOSP will most likely be faster and more fluent but only TouchWiz has some functionality concerning stylus (S-pen)...

I think i will not really use spen.. What is more battery friendly between AOSP and TW?
Tw is more battery friendly than aosp but I know some people on beanstalk have being saying that the rom is just as battery friendly.
